Twitch is a live streaming service that focuses on video game live streaming including broadcasts of esports competitions as well as offering live music, broadcasts and creative content.
Word about the new policy changes on Twitch spread quickly, regarding third-party advertisements that would be implemented in July 2023.

These changes would lay restrictions on what streamers could use to promote charitable causes or their branded products. Burned-in ads will be banned and the size of an ad overlay is to be at a mere 3% of screen space.
Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, suggested that instead of throwing a wrench in the earnings these creators have, it should focus more on the creators growing their earnings. He emphasized that if YouTube implemented similar policy changes, it would greatly frustrate him.

It is uncertain whether or not MrBeast will stream on Kick but Twitch released a statement regarding the guidelines under discussion. They clarified that the language in the new policy was taken out of context and had a wider impact than intended.
